No. =) It's kind of a definition issue. GNOME *Shell* requires acceleration. But technically GNOME 3 does not; the fallback interface is still considered to be 'GNOME 3'. So you do need acceleration to get the Shell interface that's the 'big new thing' in GNOME 3, but still, if you don't have acceleration and you get the fallback interface instead, what you're running is still GNOME 3. Just GNOME 3's fallback interface. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
